I didn't use any brackets... seats can sit on the back 2 studs that hold the stock seat in the car, then attach the back of the seat to your rollbar. Mount them that way, save the $ and don't bother with the bracket, makes for more headroom, allows you to lean the seat back a little to your liking as well. And, the seat will feel really solid that way.

Depending on your size, a 41700 prostreet seat fits in these cars pretty good, that's a 17 inch wide seat. With the covers on them, they're pretty comfortable. 41600 or 41500 (16 or 15) if you're a smaller guy. They make a 20 inch wide if you're a BIG guy too... but they don't fit in the car that great. Plus, I fit in the 41700 seat fine and I was as big as 285 at one point (6'3) and it wasn't a problem. Now at 250, they overly comfy LOL.... I lose too much more and I'm gonna have to swap in some 15 inch wide ones I think.
